    . 1920 Oct 14h, Thurs. Nursing sister Mae Belle Sampson Honored by Hundreds from Country & Town
    The Presbyterian Church in Duntroon was crowded to the doors on Sunday afternoon, when the people of Nottawasaga are joined by many from Collingwood in honoring a noble & heroic woman, nursing sister, Lieut. Mae Belle Sampson, C.A.M.C., who was killed in action on June 27th 1918 by the sinking of the Hospital Ship, Llandovery Castle by a German submarine.
    The service with was beautiful & impressive throughout, according to the Bulletin, open by Rev D G Paton asking the congregation of between 3 & 400 to unite in singing:
    Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
    All They works shall praise Thy name in earth & sky & sea;
    Holy, Holy, Holy, merciful & mighty,
    God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity.
    Mr Paton followed with a short pryer & invocation after which the congregation sang, Ready Kindly Light. Rev S Farley, preached an eloquent sermon, said in part: Today in this church of sacred memories & associations, we meet todo honor to the memory of sone whose devotion was not less lovely than that of Mary of old.It is not any intention to pay eulogy to the life & work of the late Nursing Sister Mae Belle Sampson. That will be more fittingly performed by the gallant Colonel, who with 2 other comrades, donates the tablet to be unveiled at the close of this service. It is fitting that such a tribute should be paid & one who had abundant opportunity of knowing something of the splendid service rendered by her whose memory we this day seek to keep green. In thus honoring this noble daughter of Nottawasaga in this church of her fathers, & amid the scenes of her childhood & young womanhood, these donators have honored themselves. here in this community she was born. here she developed those noble characteristics that latter bore such fruit on the blood stained fields of France. Here she was among the most active & enthusiastic workers of this church. While it is eternally true that her name liveth forevermore that there work & worth required no memorial, it is a very fitting thing, since we are a forgetful people, that this memorial brass should find its place within whose sacred walls were as a young woman she worshipped with you. May its silent appear speak to all sho worship here from Sabbath to Sabbath & to the generations that follow, reminding each & all that in a very real sense we are all debtors. That we are privileged to meet here as we do today issue in no small measure to the fact that once more we have been bought with a price! Yes, at a great price. The price of life itself. Dare we forget? Yonder the cold waters of the Atlantic sing the requiem of this heroine & her brave associates. Whilst it is not given us to hear that paean of praise let us ever remind ourselves that we have a duty to perform to the memory of such glorious souls. … sermon continues with no further biographical information.
    Col. J A Currie unveiled the tablet, referred, feelingly, the the heroine who had been so foully murdered while ministering to suffering & dying soldiers & seaman. She had voluntarily returned to duty as a nurse on a hospital ship, one of the most dangerous in the service.
